Bob Pusey is the winner of the 2008 Association of Professional Security Agencies (APSA) Security Guard of The Year Award. The 64-year-old guard works for Lyndon Security Services, and is based at the University of Western Ontario Research Park in Sarnia, Ont.
This is the first APSA Security Guard of the Year Award, and the winner couldn’t be more deserving, says Ernie Hehn, president and general manager at Lyndon Security Services. “When we initiated some discussion with various companies that work out of [Research Park] about Bob as a possible candidate they were all very anxious to support his nomination,” says Hehn.
Pusey was awarded for his innovation and initiative. Hehn says he showed leadership skills and motivation, while implementing various new plans to benefit the clients.
Pusey stumbled into a career in security eight years ago when he started working at Lyndon Security Services. “I was looking for work, and Lyndon was good enough to hire me,” he says. Before entering the security field Pusey worked his way around the world. He sold skis in California, was a greens keeper at golf courses in Hawaii, and in Guam, and worked at a tobacco plant in Australia.
After a life of travelling and dabbling in many industries and trades, Pusey found his way to the security industry.
In 2001, after starting his position at Research Park, he began to revamp the department and take on as many tasks as he could to help the company and its clients.
